Amazon Announces Alexa Mobile Accessory Kit to Bring Alexa to Headphones, Smartwatches, More

Amazon today announced the Alexa Mobile Accessory which will help bring Alexa to headphones, smartwatches, fitness devices, and more. The kit enables OEMs to add Alexa to their devices with minimum investment in hardware or integration efforts.

With the Alexa Mobile Accessory Kit, OEM development teams no longer need to perform the bulk of the coding for their Alexa integration. Bluetooth audio-capable devices built with this new kit can connect directly to the Alexa Voice Service (AVS) via the Amazon Alexa App (for Android and iOS) on the customer’s mobile device. Customers who connect their devices with the Amazon Alexa App can take advantage of all the great features available through AVS, including streaming media, smart home capabilities, thousands of Alexa skills, calendar management, weather updates, and more.

Amazon says that device makers who want to enable Bluetooth devices to connect to Alexa for a hands-free voice experience will be to use the new developer toolset later this year.
